Heaven

Christian eschatology deals mainly with the end of peoples’ lives, the end of the world, and the kingdom of God. The bible in many places spoke about death and afterlife, heaven and hell, the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection, the rapture, tribulation, millennialism, the end of the world, the last judgment, the new heaven and new earth of the world to come. Afterlife: some denominations believe that after death, the soul goes and sleeps and doesn’t wake up until the resurrection. Others…

Modern Christianity pushes the belief that when you die you either go to heaven or hell. Bishop N. Tom Wright corrects this theory though several passages in the Bible. We see that there indeed is a different plan than just that we live, we die, and then we go to heaven. Bishop Wright shows us what he calls “Life after life after death.” After watching Wright’s video, I do disagree with one thing. I feel by his definition of life after death. It should be Life after death after life. What does…

At the beginning of the poem, Taylor is observing the sky. His thoughts become puzzled as he looks at somewhere that’s described as heaven. He says astonishingly, “A Golden Path my Pensill cannot line, / From that bright Throne unto my Threshold ly.” (lines 3-4). Taylor praises the heavens above by calling it a bright throne. He then says that he finds “the bread of life” at his door. The bread of life over here represents mana, which nourishes the soul. Taylor…
